  • Oxidative Stress Response Genes: A Circadian Connection?

    Creator:
    McAllister, Marisa C.
    Abstract:
    Circadian clocks are internal mechanisms regulating many physiological processes. Research suggests that the circadian clock may regulate repair of cellular damage caused by reactive oxygen species (ROS), but molecular pathways from the clock to ROS repair are not known. The gene cncC, known in mammals as Nrf2, and its repressor...

  • Demonstration of an Alginate Valve in a Paper Microfluidic Device

    Creator:
    Cornwell, David Q.
    Abstract:
    Paper microfluidic devices are capable of processing fluids using capillary flow in materials that are lower cost than the standard materials used in microfluidics. Due to the low cost of their fabrication and minimal requirements for instrumentation, paper microfluidic devices are ideal for use in low-resource settings. They have the...

  • Adaptation to long-term osmotic stress in a domesticated Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain

    Creator:
    Holman, Douglas S.
    Abstract:
    Osmotic stress is a common challenge faced by organisms in environments with variable salinity or aridity. Understanding the evolutionary mechanisms underlying adaptation to osmotic stress may have wide applications, including management of populations experiencing climate change, or engineering industrial organisms involved in processes such as fermentation. While Saccharomyces cerevisiae is...
